Objectives: Oral squamous cell carcinoma poses a substantial global health challenge marked by rising mortality rate. Recently, immunotherapy has shown promising results in cancer management by enhancing immune response. Thus, identifying additional immune-related markers is critical for advancing immunotherapy treatments.

The H3N2 subtype of the influenza A virus continues to be a notable public health issue due to its association with seasonal epidemics and severe human morbidity. The constrained effectiveness of current antiviral medications, combined with the inevitable emergence of drug-resistant variants, mandates the exploration of innovative therapeutic approaches. This study focuses on the identification of phytocompounds from with the potential to target hemagglutinin, viral protein involved in viral entry by binding to sialyl glycoconjugates receptors on the surface of host cells.

Keratin is one of the major components of solid waste, and the degradation products have extensive applications in various commercial industries. Due to the complexity of the structure of keratin, especially the disulfide bonds between keratin polypeptides, keratinolytic activity is efficient with a mixture of proteins with proteases, peptidases, and oxidoreductase activity. The present work aimed to create an engineered chimeric protein with a disulfide reductase domain and a protease domain connected with a flexible linker.

Article Synopsis
  • Arachidonic acid (AA) is a key omega-6 fatty acid that influences various cellular functions and is crucial for the efficiency of converting somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
  • Research shows that lower concentrations of AA enhance pluripotency in human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) by increasing the expression of pluripotency markers and promoting fatty acid synthesis and mitochondrial fission.
  • However, higher concentrations of AA lead to differentiation of stem cells, indicating a concentration-dependent effect on stem cell behavior, with potential regulatory mechanisms involving interactions with enzymes ACC1 and CREB1.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a global health concern. To facilitate improved management of GCs, protein biomarkers have been identified through mass spectrometry-based proteomics platforms. In order to exhibit clinical utility of such data, we congregated over 6800 differentially regulated proteins in GCs from proteomics studies and recorded the mass spectrometry platforms, association of the protein with infectious agents, protein identifiers, sample size and clinical characters of samples used with details on validation.
